Can I have to applications listening on the same port?

[JoBlink]

Hi!

I have a web page with streaming data coming in. I want to be alerted when an update comes in.

Can I have a listening application of some kind listening to the same port where data comes in?

Thanks.

Once a port has had an application "bind" to it, that port cannot be used (be "bound to") by another application until the application that is using it is finished/closed.

Not sure if this is what your looking for,
I assume you want to monitor a TCP/IP Port!
I did a quick search on Google, for...
Monitor TCP/IP Ports, Monitor TCP/IP Port Buffers

try this link...

How To Monitor TCP/IP Ports in Use

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=194938

If this isn't what your looking for, try searching the web using my search strings above, modify them to return different sites... I saw plenty of links regarding to Port Buffers.

I know with serial/parallel ports you can use the InBufferCount and InBufferSize, to detect data. I would think TCP/IP ports would be similiar.

Be sure to post your final results, for future viewers searching the posts.

Hope this helps...
